During a football game of the Champions League's agenda, contest between the teams Porto (Portugal) and Paris Saint Germain (France), that finished with result of 1-0 for Porto, the cameras that recorded the celebration of the goal scored by the colombian James Rodríguez , captured the presence of a ghost among the fans who celebrated in the stands.

Normally I would agree with You, but in this case I personally believe it has been photoshopped into the picture, and poorly at that...

It seem's to me that whoever made the pic, forgot to copy/clone or paste the body properly...

See the difference in between the two arrow's, they copy/cloned or pasted the ghost's shoulder in (Yellow arrow) but missed out his body (Green arrow) that is supposed to be underneath the footballer's arm...

Or the kid in the blue football jersey has his left arm behind the "ghost" and his loose fitting jersey is covering up some of the "ghosts's" body.

I think it is real. If you exaamine the full photo-it would be hard to fake the photo.

Would you please post or link to the full photo you examined?

There is too much going on in the photo

That doesn't make any sense. It wouldn't matter what's going on in the full photo outside the cropped region shown in the OP. There could be a battle between Superman and General Zod throwing chunks of the stadium at each other in the full photo and it wouldn't matter. All that matters is what's going on in the area of the photo you're trying to Photoshop something into.

I take it you don't know how to use Photoshop?

I don't think this is a Photoshop BTW. I think it's just a kid in the stands and I don't know why anyone thinks it's a ghost. Is it because his clothes look a bit old-fashioned? Maybe his parents are the kind of parents who insist on dressing their kids oddly like making them wear something formal to a soccer match. Or maybe the detail is too low to tell exactly what he's wearing.

Seriously, why is this considered a ghost by anyone?

I agree Jesse. To me it looks like the photo of a young girl wearing a white shirt - nothing strange about that. She's simply standing in the shadow of the large guy next to her. If you look at the rest of the photo, you see similar shadow areas and the only difference is that no one is standing in them.

Shadowed areas can look weird when you're cropping something at a camera's maximum resolution when it's set for high ISO (indoor sports). This "ghost" had dark skin and was in the shadow of people around him. The camera (or photographer) raised the contrast which turned what would have been a dark featureless silhouette into something that just barely looked like a person.
